I did not leave it out since it was not there. You are creating
alternative facts.
Here is the true facts:

[quote]However, Shokin was not fired for investigating Burisma, but for
his failure to pursue corruption investigations -- including
investigations connected to Burisma. And Biden wasn't alone in the
effort to push Shokin out, but rather was spearheading the Obama
administration's policy, which represented a consensus among diplomats,
officials from various European countries, and the International
Monetary Fund that Shokin was an impediment to rooting out corruption in
his country, according to Bloomberg[/quote].
I.e. he was fired for *NOT* investigating Burisma (and other
corruption).

What is wrong is that asking for a foreign government to help Trump's
election campaign is a federal violation of campaign finace laws,
whether he got such aid or not. Plus withholding money appropriated by
Congress the way that he did was also against the law. Plus it hurt an
ally in their fight against an invading adversary, namely Russia.

BZZT -- see above. There were multiple crimes.
